I'm so desperate! haven't had sound for half a year!

KayVeeJay · #**320** 07-18-2008, 02:47 PM

I am also suffering from the dreaded "Multimedia Audio Controller" problem.

I have sound, but I am really getting tired of Windows telling me I have installed new hardware, then not being able to find it.

The only thing I have done with my system with regards to hardware is install a second DVD drive onto my computer, it is working fine. After that I installed ROXIO Media v9, the uninstalled it. This appears to be when problem originated. (There were system crashes, which stopped after removing ROXIO.) With only 512MB Ram, I do have issues with running out of memory when playing with graphics programs.

I tried installing drivers recommended by driver update software.(Recommended Realtek drivers). Current and older drivers only result in the "Blue Screen of Death."

I have gone to my computer manufacturers site to see if they had drivers, no luck.

I have gone into the control panel and verified everything is pointing to my Soundcard. My Speakers work great.

I only have one set of sound plugs on the back of my machine.

I wouldn't bother trying to fix, since I have sound, but I am now having problems installing Windows updates because of this Hardware issue.

Here is the info from Belarc:

Are your audio plugs on the I/O plate or in a expansion slot, see here, click image to
focus
http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...0io%20slot.JPG

looks like you have a sound card installed, you should have 2 sets of audio sockets, your Intel board has onboard sound, it's Soundmax, check near the bottom of the tower for another set of audio sockets.
have you removed a sound card from your system.

do you get an error message when you try to install updates?

Your help was greatly appreciated. Although while I installed the driver and all is well in deice drivers, I still have so sound. I tried to play a .wav file of windows startup and got this message:

Windows cannot play the sound %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Startup.wav. Your soundcard may be in use

Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hello Bookworm,
Sorry, but I am another computer dummy who has messed up the multimedia audio controller. I have pasted the Belarc report below. Sony has a support site with all the preinstalled drivers to download but I cannot identify what I need. I really hope you can help! Thank you in advance.
